Provincial and Federal Governments support increased access to child care in Labrador West

Minister of Education and Early Childhood Development Bernard Davis celebrated the expansion of Lil Snowflakes child care centre in Labrador West where he was joined by Miranda Barry, Administrator of Lil Snowflakes child care today.

Lil Snowflakes child care centre recently added 55 new early learning and child care spaces, for a total of 86 spaces at the centre.

Additionally, there are five early learning and child care projects in development in Labrador. These five projects will result in 68 new child care spaces, which will all operate at $10-a-day.

Currently, there are over 11,200 early learning and child care spaces operating at $10-a-day or less in the province for children 0 to 12, with the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador agreement supporting children 0 to 5.
